Where did you hear or read this? Does it have anything artificial in it? I don't have a Whole Foods by me yet so I don't know what the ingredients are. Can you list the ingredients please?
I love roasted almond butter! Just think, it's a million times better than Jiffy(sugar, colorings, etc) and all the other brands like that. It's still good for you even though its roasted. In fact, I buy a three pound bag of almonds from Costco and roast the whole bag and munch on them when I want something healthy rather than going for the cookies. The raw almonds are too bland for me so I like them roasted. I usually do buy raw almond butter but roasted is fine if you made a "mistake".
If you really feel uncomfortable about eating it then give to a friend. If unopened, please dont throw away.
